My First PTI Blog Hop!

I have always loved looking at everyone's PTI Blog Hop creations, so I thought I would join in the fun now that I have my own blog!  This months challenge was to not only decorate the front of the card, but also to adorn the inside of the card and even the envelope.  I decided to make a card for my cousin who just had her second son.

I chose Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist & Kraft as my color scheme and used the Bitty Baby Blessings stamp set.  The little sail boat is adorable!  I debated what to stamp on the sail and thought about cutting a separate piece of paper to fit the space, but decided to use the little elephant.

My mom loves it when I make cards for her to give away, but she always asks me to stamp something on the inside so she doesn't have to think of so much to write, so this challenge was the push I needed to try adding something to the inside.  I used another sentiment from the Bitty Baby Blessings set and then wrapped Rustic Twine around the card a few times.  It's simple, but I like it!

Here is the envelope to match.  I will have to mail this card so I just added a little embellishment to the bottom corner. I'm not sure what happened to the color in this picture, but I left my camera at school today so I can't take another one, but you get the idea!  

Thanks for checking it out!
